Bo nose porcupine butt.
It’s been a surprisingly rough year for Bo Jackson, and none of us knew. The mythic athlete has been dealing with a legendary case of hiccups, and since July of 2022 he’s been hiccuping non-stop.
Talking to a local radio show on Wednesday, Jackson revealed that he’s been doing everything to try and get rid of these hiccups — including getting a live porcupine and getting a big ‘ol whiff of its butt.
“I have done everything — scare me, drink water upside down, smell the ass of a porcupine, it doesn’t work.”
Bo is now having a medical procedure done in the hopes of ending his hiccups. Terrifyingly, chronic hiccups are a thing. They can either be caused by a disease of the central nervous system, or be the product of an adverse drug reaction. An Iowa native named Charles Obsorne holds the world record for chronic hiccuping, which lasted 68 YEARS from the age of 20 until his death. This caused Osborne to change his speech pattern and entire way of talking to account for the hiccups.
As far as the whole porcupine butt: That’s a little more difficult to pin down. There is no evidence that smelling any animal’s rear end can cure hiccups — but broadly speaking, Bo could have just been using this for short-hand as a way to say “I tried everything.”
Did it work?....................asking for a friend.....................
Spoon of sugar swallowed followed by holding breath for 15 seconds or so, always works.
Follow the science?
Maybe if Jojo sniffed him? That’s pretty scary...
Must be memories of that playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.
When I was little, Dad always gave me a teaspoon of sugar...with a few drops of whiskey! It always worked and I thought that was SO good! He’d be hauled off by CPS today...unless he proposed to lop off my nuts. Then it would be perfectly okay.
Bo’s got hiccups over a more serious problem — the past 3 football national championships have been won by Auburn’s two main rivals.
I use honey.....................
Bo Knows.
My mom would rub whiskey on our gums when we were teething :)

Take Thorazine, fool.
One of the Popes suffered from long term hiccups .
Mom’s knew what they were doing!
hiccups are solely caused by dehydration. drink lots of water and watch them leave.
I wonder what ‘The Boz’ thinks of this news?
My father once had a days-long hiccup spell following a corticosteroid injection in his knee. We looked it up, and it’s been a documented side effect, e.g.,

I wonder if Bo, as former athlete with pains and aches therefrom, received corticosteroid injections.
